Christian news for today includes an article about a restraining order for an autistic boy that prevents him from attending his church, the Pope calling for a “strong and credible” accord against cluster bombs, and a new survey that shows 70% of Americans believe Divorce is “morally acceptable. Let’s get to the brief summaries and links…

A Minnesota mother of a 13-year old boy was told not to bring her autistic son to church, or she would be arrested.

The church Carol Race normally attends with her family took out a restraining order against her son, who can apparently become violent or loud sometimes.

In Catholic news, Pope Benedict XVI called for a “strong and credible” international accord against cluster bombs. The Pope made the comments on the eve of a major international conference on cluster munitions in Dublin, Ireland. In part, he said,

“I hope that thanks to the responsibility of all the participants a strong and credible international instrument can be adopted. We need to remedy the errors of the past and make sure they are not repeated in the future.”

In a Christian Post article today, Aaron Leichman writes how 70 percent of Americans believe divorce is “morally acceptable.” That’s according to a poll by Gallup’s 2008 Values and Beliefs survey.

Leichman indicates the survey figures reflect:

“an 11 percent increase from just 7 years ago and a 3 percent increase from 2 years ago. Only 22 percent of Americans said they believed divorce was “morally wrong,” according to the results.”
